A to Z Book Survey

Sidney Sheldon. 18 books. I went through this phase when I was probably too young to read his books but I did anyway because I loved them (and still do) so I had to read every last one of them. Naturally.

Best sequel ever:

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, the whole book was such a mindfuck  and I wasn’t expecting to go all crazy eyes when I read the last line. I still got the chills.

Currently Reading:

Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard. There’s a whole book club going on which is just awesome. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick and Where It Began by Ann Stampler.
Yes, I’m the queen of reading three books at a time but I’d be lucky if I don’t get the urge to pick a fourth one. Go me.

Drink of choice while reading:

Chai tea. Whenever I do feel like having something to drink.

E-reader or Physical book?

Physical! But I don’t mind e-readers.

Fictional character you probably would have dated in high school:
Trevor from Pivot Point by Kasie West. He’s artsy, a little bit of a net, mysterious and just all around someone who I’d have loved to go out with.

Glad you gave this book a chance:

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.

Hidden gem book:
Take Me There by Carolee Dean. I discovered it on a whim, decided to read it and fell in love with it.

Important moment in your reading life:
When I discovered Living Social: Books. It shut down back in 2011 which is why I had to join Goodreads (unwillingly) but it was so great to finally have a bookish platform.

Just finished:
Heist Society by Ally Carter. I’m glad I read this book; it’s good to be goal-oriented.

Kinds of books you won’t read:

I don’t like books that dabble in religion. So not my thing.

Longest book you’ve read:
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. It was more than a 1000 pages long and I was fifteen when I read it.

Major book hangover because of:

Divergent by Veronica Roth. Seriously, the adventurous me goes crazy over all those things. Divergent makes me want to become an adrenaline junkie. Also, Just One Day by Gayle Forman.

Number of bookcases you own:
Bookcases? More like 2 shelves and each cannot hold more than 10 books. I never actually had a proper shelf (there’s this L-shaped huge bookcase that’s always been in the home but I got tired of it fast). But since I moved after doing my BSc I’ve been planning on getting one built. It is going to look beautiful. Oh yes.

One book you have read multiple times:

French Kiss by Sarra Manning. It’s been a long time since I read it last but I was so addicted to it!

Preferred place to read:

My bed. Or my orange beanbag.

Quote that inspires you/gives you all the feels from a book you’ve read:
I’m going to go with a quote from Take Me There by Carolee Dean: “How far can you go down the wrong path before you can’t get back on the right one?” I had tears in my eyes when I read this line, it just broke my heart. Oh, Dylan… Needless to say, I love that book to pieces.

Reading regret:
That I discovered the book blogging so late! But it happened when it was supposed to so I’m fine.

Series you started and need to finish (all books are out in series):
The Matched trilogy by Ally Condie. I’ve yet to read Reached and while, I liked Crossed a lot I’m not that excited for it which is weird.

Three of your all-time favorite books:
I can’t, I just can’t narrow it down to just three because I feel like I’m betraying the others. But oh well. Okay. Take Me There by Carolee Dean, Just One Day by Gayle Forman and Rage of Angels by Sidney Sheldon.

Unapologetic fangirl for:

Just One Day by Gayle Forman. I can’t even.

Very excited for this release more than all the others:

Just One Year by Gayle Forman. Seriously, give me it.

Worst bookish habit:

Worst bookish habit? You mean I have a worse and a bad one, too? Nah, I’m perfect.

X marks the spot. Start at the top left of your shelf and pick the 27th book:

Since all my books are stacked on top each other right now, I got Speechless by Hanna Harrington (which I haven’t read as yet, oops).

Your latest book purchase:
I bought six books last month: If I Stay and Where She Went by Gayle Forman, Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, Inferno by Dan Brown and Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis.

Zzz-snatcher book (last book that kept you up WAY late):
Just One Day by Gayle Forman. Sigh.

So, do I pass the a to z test? Let me know ha. Also, if you’ve participated in the survey, leave a link. If not, join in the fun!
